Question 1

what is prostatomegaly?

Accepted Answer

A Large prostate: a Large prostate - also known as Hypertrophy of the prostate

Question 2

what is grade i prostatomegaly? what causes it?

Accepted Answer

Here are some...: Grade 1 prostatomegaly is coined to denote mild degree of prostate enlargement, caused by aging along with subtle change in hormonal balance although the precise mechanism remains imperfectly clear &amp; unknown. In practice, it is arbitrarily designated by practitioners' estimation from digital rectal exam but very inaccurate; clinically, one has to always correlate with patient's voiding pattern.

Question 3

if you have prostatomegaly, what foods should you avoid?

Accepted Answer

Not an issue: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) very common in men after the age of 50. There are no dietary issues that exacerbate this condition for the most part.  Some men with thickened bladders and irritated voiding symptoms find that caffeine and alcohol can exacerbate their symptoms.

Question 4

my usg showr grade 1 prostatomegaly. what does this mean for my health?

Accepted Answer

Nothing bad: Sounds like you have very mild prostate enlargement.  As long as you are not having significant urinary symptoms (slowing of stream, going too frequently or leakage issues), there is nothing to be concerned about at present.  The prostate normally enlarges with age and intervention may be needed if urinary symptoms worsen.  More diligent monitoring needed if (+) family history of prostate cancer.

Question 5

is prostatomegaly and prostatitis the same?

Accepted Answer

No, are different: Prastatomegaly just means a large or enlarged prostate gland. Prostatitis indicates inflammation of prostate gland either bacterial or non-bacterial. Prostatitis usually causes enlargement of prostate gland, in which case it can cause prostatomegaly. Most cases of prostatomegaly are due to BPH (Benign prostatic hypertrophy)

Question 6

my dad have mild prostatomegal, is it curable?

Accepted Answer

Enlarged Prostate: Prostamegaly is the medical term for a prostate that is larger than normal.  Many factors can influence the size of the prostate.  There are both serious and benign conditions which a large prostate could be indicative for concern.  As with any medical condition a visit to your doctor is highly recommended.  As men age the prostate may get larger but this should not be assumed normal.

Question 7

hi doctors, can you tell me what is prostatomegaly grade one?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: Prostatomegaly grade one denotes the presence of slight/mild prostate enlargement. Such designation as grade 1, 2, or 3 tends to be examiner-subjective with inaccurate to relate the truth of prostate size. So, I prefer to indicate the "real" size as estimated with finger breath (1.25 to 1.5 cm) resulting in stating 3 x 3.5 cm or 3.5 x 4 cm, to make such estimation as objective as possible.

Question 8

helo dr.
my dad age is 65, he has grade 2 prostatemegaly (volume 40 cc).

kindly suggest.

Accepted Answer

--Fickle Prostate--: If he truly has Grade 2 prostatomegaly [and you didn't receive that information in a vision after taking hallucinogenic mushrooms], then some fine young Urologist [hopefully, with a valid license] has taken tissue and is well-equipped to discuss the Gleason Scale (2-10) with you, including the fact that 30cc is the upper limit considered "normal." As for symptoms-that's another story!!!

Question 9

what is the treatment for grade 1 prostatomegaly?

Accepted Answer

Prostamegally??: first of all there's really not a condition known as "Prostamegally". benign prosthetic hyperplasia is a common condition that occurs in about 50% of men over the age of 50.  when these men have difficulty urinating often times medication is used to relax the prostate. They're also medications used to shrink the size of the prostate. Removing prostatic tissue with a cystoscope is final option

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Large Prostate gland: If you have urinary tract symptoms it may be significant. There is medication that can be used to shrink the prostate gland.
